Thanks given for dinner

To the editor:
Once again this community stepped up to the challenge of the Thanksgiving season with an unbelievable response to the community dinner. The volunteers started calling early as they were anxious to roll up their sleeves and help wherever needed. At the same time, the local agencies, service clubs, lodges, businesses, sororities, churches and individuals were putting plans together for lending support, as well.
When the event was over, we saw a record number of meals served to the homebound as well as those dining inside. It was refreshing watching families enjoying each other while eating their fill. The expressions of gratitude at the end of the day were genuine, and we were excited to see all leaving with satisfied appetites and leftovers for the next few days.
The success of this day is only possible because of the generosity of this awesome community. Thank you for all you do to help put new light in the eyes and hope in the hearts of our many friends and neighbors.
With heartfelt thanks,
Carol Smith, chair,
Jay County Community
